received a thirty-year concession. It will consist of two underground storage tanks of 160.000 of m of capacity each, vaporiser pumps and other
treatment facilities required to process LNG and a breakwater with mooring jetty and unloading arms. The LNG Terminal at Porto Empedocle will
offer a nominal yearly regasification capacity of 8 billion m3; will be able to receive LNG tankers up to 155.000 m3 of capacity. The LNG Terminal will
be able to inject the gas at the standard grid pressure (around 70 bar) and will be connected to the transmission system operated by SnamReteGas
by means of a pipeline section specifically built by SnamReteGas.
